I took this now, before any more of the flowers went walking down the street in the hands of strangers...

It could do with a few more year's growth - it's a bit sad when the mini dahlias are bigger than the roses. The one on the right is a struck cutting that was given to me by the bloke next door two years ago and it is its first season in the ground. And I did manage to include a spring bulb, too. Still getting anenomes popping up here and there!

I'm really tempted, Paul. Trouble is, that garden is right at hand-level when people walking past. I don't know how they manage to take the roses, though - I've never been able to snap off even a dead one!

And that is a Dahlia, Marrion. It grows to about 30 or 40cm and (in the past) has flowered for months Cross-fingers it'll do it again.
